OK so far.

Amanda insists the .amandahosts file be owned by the Amanda user, so it
looks like you need to get all of that in sync on your various machines.

NFS servers often map "root" to "nobody" when a client makes a request
as a security technique. Since user "nobody" rarely has any privileges,
"root" on such a client usually cannot do very much in an NFS area.
If you want "root" to stay "root", you probably need to add some options
to the NFS server export configuration information (the specifics of
which depend on the server).

Sounds like a plan. Have a nice few days off and we'll pick this up
again next week.
